This number called today and did not leave a message. I only have number caller id on my cell phone so I don't know what what name they have programmed for caller id.
Call today from 626-786-3701. Caller ID says ARS National Service. Left a message on my answering machine using my husband's name and a different female name. Said it was urgent that we call them back because they had a "mutual business contact" that we had to "settle business with." What a scam! I added their number to my list of blocked callers, but I'm sure they'll figure out a way to get around that. My family has been instructed to not answer any phones calls from anybody we can't identify on caller id.
I called this number back and it stated this number was not in service. I looked it up on your site and apparently they are debt collectors. We do not have any unsettled debts or past due bills. Is there anyway to get rid of these other than not answering the phone?
Just got a call from some wise guy claiming he works for the ARS, "Associated Recovery Systems" and ask if I was the person he was looking for. I then asked him what is this about. He then proceeded to ask me that if I could confirm that the address he had in his file was in fact my home address.
I asked him, what is this about? then he said, I can not reveal that information to you. Then I told him that I wasn't going to reveal any information to him over the phone. Then he said he was going to mail some information to the address he had. I said, you do whatever you have to do, but I'm not giving you my personal information over the phone sir.
He then said, well then I won't be able to help you since you won't help me. I told wise guy, that's fine by me, then he hung up.
The number on my caller ID from this so called, ARS company is: 626-786-3701. When I called this number back a recorded operator message said that the number I dialed was incorrect. These jerks think they can just call and demand to get what they want.
Do not give out any information or confirm anything with these jerks. Anyone can mask a phone number and pretend they're confirming information from an account.
Inform yourself and research who these jerks are before giving out personal information about yourself.
